Bad grade in one first year module

[Happy Law Student]

Hello,

I have recently received my first year grades and I’m concerned about applying to vac schemes next year. I got a low 2:2 in Criminal Law, which has dragged my overall grade down to 63%.

I got one 1:1 and two 2:1s in my other modules, but will having a low 2:1 overall and a 2:2 in Criminal Law be an issue when applying to vac schemes at top firms next year?

For most firms, this will not be an issue.

Some firms that really emphasise the need for strong and consistent grades may be more difficult to aim for, but they are a small minority of the firms out there.

Oh ok then that’s good to hear, thank you.
